Any more than that would be unhealthy. Since the entire purpose of losing weight should be to maintain a healthy body, losing more than is prudent would of course make no sense.
That being said, there are many ways that you can lose those 8 lbs. Here are some tips you may find useful:
1) Jog: not for hours and not super fast. Just go at your own pace for about fifteen minutes in the morning and then again at night.
2) Situps: try in the morning, fifty at night and fifty during the day.
3) Pushups: try fifteen in the morning, fifteen at night, and fifteen during the day.
4) Eat right: don't eat unhealthy foods. Eliminate fatty foods and desserts as well.
5) Portions: control the amount of food that you eat. Don't have seconds at dinner, and don't snack throughout the day.
These are just tips, of course. I encourage you to reject what you don't like or don't think would be fulfilling for you. There are also many other ways of losing weight, such as doing an active activity (such as dance, swimming, sports, etc.), or just plain going on more walks! Whatever you decide, make sure it's something you find enjoyable.

I can't recommend that you follow this advice as I am not licensed to give this type of advice. No sweats, no junk food, 1 1/2 hours of walking of low impact arobics 4 times a week and eat only fruits and vegetables uncooked. No more than 4 ozs. of red meat 3 times a week and one gallon of water a day. [ mikesadvice's advice column | Ask mikesadvice A Question ]
